Galactic 02 (G02)[1] was a crewed sub-orbital spaceflight of the SpaceShipTwo-class VSS Unity, launched on 10 August 2023. It was the second commercial spaceflight and seventh overall spaceflight for American aerospace company Virgin Galactic. The mission was the first to carry space tourists (people who are not working during the flight), as the previous flight, Galactic 01, carried astronauts from the Italian Air Force and the Italian National Research Council (who carried out research experiments during the flight).[2]
